Cambridge Rock Festival

Indeed both are very experienced performers. Heidi of course was the original singer with Mostly Autumn but didn't record a cd with them, although she did co-write some of the very early stuff with Bryan. She played many gigs with them prior to the Heather era. She is clearly very much at home on stage. They both are. And Breathing Space have truly fallen on their feet with these two.

And now that I know who you are Mr Gig, I can look out for you at the next BS Cambridge gig in November. By the way, I thought that it was Les or yourself who was snoring at Cambridge, but after you packed your tent away after the photos on the Sunday night, it continued.....my apologies

Must have been Chris then !!

Maybe

Any one know the venue on the 20th Nov in Cambridge?
I noticed that the CRF10 set was filmed what is the chance of a double release of the offical DVD release of Below the Radar live - a chapter closes in Wolverhampton and a new era begins in Cambridge.

Probably the first ever recording of Heidi and Adam with Breathing Space:

Well, what splendid feedback! How Fab was Cambridge Rock Festival? Great music, lovely people and fab weather, I had a great time and am still suffering from the after effects of way too much whisky (purely medicinal of course)!

What a great venue for Breathing Space to play their first gig with the new line up, I loved it and I know the lads did too. There were so many great people there supporting us, it was the crowd that made it a special gig. Many thanks to all of you who came over and had a chat and thank you for accepting myself and Adam into the fold! On that note I must just mention Mr Adam Dawson who was absolutely fantastic!!

Only problem now is the next one will have to be even better!! Can't wait . . . . . .

Indeed H, and you know what they say: things can only get better. I have no doubt at all that future gigs will be just as powerful, if not more. Loving the new sound/direction

H xx

Indeed - was more than just a debut gig. Heidi's powerful vocal and charismatic, drop-jaw stage presence is perfect for the band and the new musical direction they treated us to in the amazing final song. Well done to Heidi, and not forgetting Mr Super-Cool, Adam Dawson on guitar.

Looking forward to more BS gigs in the future!

As Ali G would no doubt say: "Check it"... Here's some excellent video of one of the many highlights from the band's set at Cambridge (cheers to Adam for alerting me to its presence!):

Great song, great vid. A shame that the cameraman couldn't get the whole band in, but I didn't mind at all that the camera was trained on Heidi's charismatic stage presence. The most important thing is that the picture and sound quality was good. I left a comment on the page a few days ago.

The vid clips says it all - Breathing Space, raising the bar for all similar bands on the bill that day to try and reach....

Triffik stuff thanks for posting Dave and to whoever filmed it!

Bugger I can't see it. Wonder if it's 'cos I'm at work and it's been blocked, or the system just can't cope, or summat. Will have to wait until I get home to have a look.

You'll be able to tell if it's been blocked - try going to YouTube and see what happens!

Can't access YouTube at work Dave - that certainly is blocked. All I can see is a large blank expanse. Never mind I shall just have to wait.

Any chance of uploading a collection of BS Cambridge Rock Fest' pics sometime soon?

Cheers.

Hi G.

We sent a batch of cambridge photos to our web-master this morning, so they should appear on the website very shortly! :0)

Despite BS now featuring the original MA singer (how many fans ever saw Heidi with MA?) I think the new band line-up is far more removed from MA now and is much more of a band in its own right rather than a group featuring half of MA.
I think it's the right way forward for them and I was very impressed with their performance at Cambridge. I think the future for the band looks very bright.

Have sent my photos through for the website but in the meantime here`s a link to my flickr set

I`m STILL buzzing from that brilliant set


Cheers

Cheers for the pics, Howard!!

Well said Jerry

Cracking pictures from Cambridge and whilst it is always difficult to assess the vocals from a youtube clip Heidi sounds as though she has slotted in perfectly.
Her voice sounds fairly similar to Nikki Lambourne of 'Never the Bride' which is a fantastic compliment. Personally I can't wait for the next series of gigs - the picture of all the band at the end of the set at Cambridge said it all.
Adam also sounds as though he's been playing with the band for years, so come on Ian get those gigs arranged I'm having withdrawl symptoms!!!

All the best for the future - there are great times ahead guys!

You're not alone! Just fantastic photos, Howard - good job!

Excellent video clip!

As a "BS" newb, can someone tell me which track it was and which album it was on. Don't think it's off "Coming Up..." which I found to be a tad on the serene side, but that song in the clip had plenty of guts!

I think you may need to go back and listen to Coming Up... again, BigVern - the clip was of Searching For My Shadow, which can indeed be found on Coming Up For Air...

All I can say is it sounded rather different live, then! I've listened to CUFA a couple of times and, while okay, seemed alround a bit flat. Actually on reflection Searching For My Shadow was probably one of the better tracks on there...
